You can view the history here:

I would like to migrate this code into jakarta-commons. I don't think it makes sense right now to make this a dedicated sub-project especially until the API is a bit more solid and we have > 3 developers working on the code.
That and the incubator seems like a lot of bureaucracy which I just don't want to deal with right now.
AFAIK since it needs a donation document signing it should probably go through the incubator. in theory since you're already a jakarta committer (burton at apache.org, right?), it should just be a case of being nodded through (but also ensuring that all the legalities have been taken care of). IIRC avalon pushed through a similar incubation with the minimum of fuss very quickly recently but you'll probably need a member to champion it through for this to happen.
if it doesn't come through the incubator then i'd say that someone from the pmc would need to nod the acceptance though.
So if I get some +1s then I would like to merge this into the jakarta-commons CVS and start moving from there...
The current codebase is here..
When we migrate over the package will change to org.apache.commons.feedparser

Thoughts?
the code should start in the sandbox (just like everything else). this actually serves a useful purpose since it means that the code can be checked and brought in line with the rest of the commons more easily there.
since you're already a apache committer, you can request sandbox karma (and have it granted) and start setting up the structure and the website straight away (though you probably shouldn't commit anything of the donated stuff until the all clear comes through.)
BTW this should be taken as friendly advice (rather than definitive policy) since i'm no longer on the pmc and (happily) out of the jakarta policy loop now.
